[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]McLean is upset about overcrowding.

There will be no addition any time soon, even though one is badly needed.

If McLean families agree to stick it out with a modular and/or more trailers until they get an expansion, that is their choice.

If the community agrees that a boundary change is needed, which it seems to, I think everyone would support a modest adjustment so that the school retains a large population.  If the school is at 130% now maybe bring it down to 120 (I'm not looking at the CIP just now and I don't remember the number). Maybe reducing trailers and not eliminating them would be prudent.[/quote]

Whoever keeps claiming McLean can’t get an addition any time soon hasn’t been paying attention.

In 2017 FCPS decided to build additions at Justice, Madison and West Potomac - none of which were otherwise scheduled to be renovated.  They put it on the 2017 and 2019 bonds and construction on this additions will start soon.

They can do the same with McLean starting next year. There is plenty of margin in the budget to accommodate this. In the interim they can replace the bulk of trailers with a modular over the summer.

But the school board would have to take that action, which they have not shown any inclination at this point. And even if they did, It still takes years. It’s not like there will be an addition on in one - two years. [/quote]

Exactly.  It took Langley four long years to complete its renovation.[/quote]
